IRIS DJ Set @ Arkaoda 2021

Drawing the night in around his private, unnerving vigil, Ellis Swan returns to Quindi Records with an album of cracked beauty and haunted balladry. The Chicago-based singer-songwriter debuted on the label last year with a collaborative project called Dead Bandit, a vividly produced instrumental set in thrall to the badlands and a laconic, languid Americana.

Under his own name, Swan records intimate, poetic songs in a stark fashion, so fragile they might disintegrate in between your fingers were you to pick them up. He draws the microphone close to pick up every whisper and drags the music through layer upon layer of tape fuzz, leaving room for atmospheric impressions which loom out of the walls like the ghosts of past misdeeds. These pieces play on the natural distortion and delirium which occurs at the farthest end of the night – the hour before dawn might hope to break the veil of darkness.

Swan’s is a hauntological sound, but like the late Israeli rockabilly icon Charlie Megira his process strikes a spooked tone past revivalism and out of time or place. The only anchor which places Swan anywhere is the subtle presence of Katherine Swan providing lyrics to ‘3am’ and lyrics and backing vocals to ‘It Could Be Worse’.

The impression cast is of one man and his guitar, but there are other textures tucked into the music – the muffled murmur of a drum machine or a low frequency organ hum, some desolate piano, other treated percussive impulses which might well have been the work of incidental sprites while the four-track was rolling.

There are fuller cuts like ‘Evening Sun’ and the title track ‘3am’ which play with structural dynamics and creep out of the shadows a touch, while passages of plaintive, instrumental unease such as the hypnotic, mantra-like ‘Chinatown’ protract the space between songs. ‘Swing’ lolls between moments of bottomless silence and a discernible, rickety funk, and ‘Puppeteers Tears’ teases out a buried drama. But primarily, it’s the light touch of ‘Horses Bones’ and tin can tenderness of ‘She’s My Sweet Summer Storm’ which spell out the spellbinding character of 3am; a singular creation fusing the best qualities of folk, blues and Americana with a fearlessly experimental sound palette.


All tracks were written, recorded, and performed by Ellis Swan, except for ”3am" lyrics written by Katherine and Ellis Swan, and "It Could Be Worse" lyrics written by, and additional vocals by, Katherine Swan.

“I never think about rhythm versus melody; I've always just played to what's in my head.” Les Claypool, famed bass player of the alternative US-American metal band Primus, once stated. Berlin based multi-layered project Them Caged Dogs, short TCD, would sign his avowal and proof it right with their highly composed debut album “Today's Duty, Tomorrow's Ruin” - a wild, surprising LP, full of captivating jazz, rock, alternative, grunge, and punk twists.

Founded by composer and musician Zacharias S. Falkenberg, the four-piece venture centers itself on the edgy corners of experimental rock, melding traditions of stylistically far apart artists like Frank Zappa, Miles Davis, Black Midi, Tool, or The Mars Volta in a peculiar, headstrong way.

Before Falkenberg launched TCD, he had already gained scholastic musical experience with The Chronometer’s Orchestra – a chamber ensemble that performed his Neue Musik and experimental jazz compositions. To give a rocking response to his former musical avenues, he formed TCD, a liberal, modern, uncompromising, critical of society art rock group, that avoids clichés while playing them out in a fresh and modern way. Outcast music for misfits, that appreciate sonic adventures full of sudden genre turns. Music, that explicitly stands against misanthropy, populist politics, and xenophobia, in order to back and stimulate diversity.

Berlin based label Marmo Music now issues their strong musical debut statement “Today's Duty, Tomorrow's Ruin'”, produced, recorded and written by composer and band leader Zacharias S. Falkenberg and his fellow musician’s pianist Philipp Rüttgers, composer and audio designer Pat Cleaver, and jazz drummer Yonga Sun. Eight songs, that can also work as tracks, meandering with playful musical craftsmanship through styles like prog rock, metal, funk, jazz, psychedelic, ambient, cosmic music, and all that punk. Apart the song “I Am Collector”, which features ecclesiastical chanting by Berlin based alternative R&B singer/songwriter Fanny Winter aka Mulay, their music solely works with instrumental muscle, spreading the socio-political feelings and ideas of TCD through unorthodox melodies, excited crescendos, twisted rhythms, feverish guitar solos, and vibrant kicking basslines. Out of the head, yet deeply arranged sonics by academically trained arranger and composer Falkenberg and his friends, that think outside the box with distinct, genuine, gut driven rock music.

The recording has been taken during a streaming live performance hosted by my good friend of mine Rufus at Radio Amblè - Florence on February 5th 2020. A microKorg synthesizer together with a Korg Volca Lead, settled with an high rate tremolo and a soft vibrato, are the instruments I used. Some rhythm loops were added sometime to enhance the musical pleasantness.
yours sincerely,
